Coolant expansion tank
It is absolutely essential, that a exoansion tank, that can be aerated, is fitted adjacent to the radia-
tor. The ventilation pipe should, if possible, be fitted to the radiator’s highest position. For this, a
pipe with a maximum diameter of 10mm suffices, which must be fed to the expansion tank. A fur-
ther pipe, which must be fitted to the floor of the expansion tank, can be fitted to the cooling
system in any desired place (i.e. T-piece). Frequently a connection is provied on the radiator its-
elf. The coolant expansion tank is not normally supplied by Fischer Panda. For this a standard
vehicle expansion tank is the most suitable. Vehicle accessory range is the most suitable.
Coolant Pump
This Is normally equipped with a independent impeller suction pump. This pump suffices if the
cooling water pipes etc equate to the normal standard. Fischer Panda can give no guaranty. It
must be determined whether the amount of cooling water circulating is sufficient. Consideration
must always be given to the fact that the water flow is supported by an external pump.
Antifreeze
The antifreeze concentration must be regularly checked in the interests of safety. The antifreeze
solution supplied from the factory provides protection to -15°C. If lower temperatures are occasio-
ned during transportation or storage, then the coolant must be drained. The cooling system is,
however, so arranged that the draining of the coolant is only possible in the assembled state,
when air under pressure is blown into the system. Air pressure of approx. 0.5b suffices, in order
to blow out the water.
Suction filter as a source of noise
The external suction filter (not included on delivery) must always be used if the generator is to be
used in a dust-free environment. This filter is connected by means of a hose with a connecting
piece to the generator housing. The filter can be the source of considerable noise. If this is the
case, an air intake muffler with the appropriate nominal width should be ordered from Fischer
Panda. This is a cylinder, which takes up relatively large amou nt of room (Total length approx
700mm, Diameter 100mm).
Vehicle Generator with Centrifugal Coolant Pump
An impeller pump can also be provided if the radiator, for technical reasons, is to be installed rela-
tively distant from the radiator and addtionally requires a number of changes to the direction of
the pipe. This coolant impeller pump is mounted on the generator as an additional pump, and is
driven by pulleys. The pump action is carried out by a "rubber impeller".
